hello i need a save for Nancy's name in Japanese please and i never used a save game before so could someone tell me how to use a save game thanks

Hi Irisheyes,

You do not need to double post. We will see it when we're here and respond.
The saved game is sent with instructions.

sorry and thanks

Enjoy the game.

ok i did everything that the email said to do exactly but when i went to load the game save labeled 4 calligraphy didnt show up in the load game window

Scroll to the beginning of the load list and see if it is there.
Keep us posted.

no its not there and i checked the game folder on my computor its in the file just not when i go to load the game

Did you place it inside the Shadows folder that is in My Documents folder?
Double check and see.
Keep us posted.

yes its there i've checked and rechecked everything its not in the load game window

That's really strange.
Just a double check - there is a scroll arrow - I think at the right side of that load frame.
It should be at the very start (oldest) - bottom of the list (not the top one) - since they are arranged by dates.

its not there could you just send it to me again please

It is sent.

ok now i cant find the save file in the my documents folder im so new to this but i thought i did it right but not there im sorry if this is posted twice thats not my intention but could you kindly send me the save again thank you so very much for being so patient with me

thank you my computer shut down did know if you got the post sorry

It's okay. No problem. We all start learning things. By tomorrow, you will be an expert.
I sent the saved game again.

--------------
Hope it worked for you.

i had a high school kid to do the puzzle foe me (a younger steadier hand to the rescue) lol thank you for all the help you gave me

That's great that you got a steady hand to help you. I can understand completely the need for one.
Next time - we can work on why the saved game did not show up. Have fun with the game.

I need help with the portrait wires puzzle. Could someone send me a save?

Hi cmumm, the save's on the way.

thank you for that. Now I am trying to get past Suki. I use the command suki, mate and then try to take the puzzle box but I get a "fatal error" message. what am I doing wrong?

First, check to make sure that you are scrolling far enough down in the dialogue box and choosing the correct word. I seem to remember that the word "tate" is among the choices as well.

Nevermind I figured it out.

Great news.

I can't find the 4th stone. Can I get a save immediately after all 4 stones are found?

I don't have a saved game for this; we will have to wait for someone who does.

Along with the stone that is already in the puzzle under the bridge, here is where they are located:

1) along the path next to the bridge and garden shed
2) near the base of the large lantern in the pond.
3) by the bench close to the lobby entrance.
4) near the base of the cherry tree.

How do I get to the stone by the large lantern in the pond? I keep on missing it. I just wind up going around and around the pond.

Found it!

Sounds good.

Can I get a save for the color wheel? It's making me nuts.

Hi cmumm, the save's on the way.

I copied the save into my "Shadow" document file but it doesn't show up when I open the game

I'm playing an online version of the game if that matters.

Check the load screen - it should be at the start of the list.

I couldn't get the save to open but I finally got the puzzle on my own.

Congratulations.

Is there a save for the nanogram puzzle at the end of the game?

I don't have a saved game for this - let's wait for someone who does.

I have one. Sending to you now, cmumm.

Thank you!

You're welcome! Enjoy the ending.

I thought I posted a few minutes ago, but my computer froze and I don't see it. So, posting again just in case.

Does anyone have a saved game to the mosaic lock? I have been "killed" by that thing too many times to count and I'm getting very frustrated.

Hi shaunad, to GameBoomers. A save for the puzzle is on the way to you.

Rushes...YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for helping-responding so quickly! thank you!

You're welcome! Any problems with getting the save to work, just let us know. Instructions are in the email, so hopefully you'll be ok.

ok, I just replied to the email, but I think I was supposed to reply here. anywho, I did everything you said in the email, it opened up,then the game blinked and now I have to start all over.

Or...was that what it was supposed to do? I meant a saved game where it was done...

I just replied to your email, but I'll repeat here.

The game blinked? I'm not sure what you mean. The file that I sent you was a save file for the completed puzzle. It should put you just past that point in the game if it is loaded correctly. Did you place the save file in the folder along with all your other saves for the game? Then when you go into the game itself and go to your load screen, among all of your own saves you should see one for "17 balcony lock door done". That's the one you want. You shouldn't have to start over from the beginning.

Rushes, thank you so much for your help. YOU ROCK!!!!

Great that you got the save working for you in the end. Enjoy the rest of the game.

First off, thank you aha for helping me.

Second, is there something special about the nano gram thing in the hidden bath?
I thought I was doing it right but nancy doesn't say a thing and nothing happens.
I even did what the picture said in the walk through to no response. What am
I doing wrong? It's just like the ones rentaro gave nancy to do right?

The nonogram in the secret bath works the same way the others do; it's just more complicated. It's really easy to have just one or two things that aren't right, even when it looks correct.

ok, well, I thought I was gonna post a picture of my "finished" nanogram, but I don't know how to do that...

it looks right to me...can I send someone a picture of what mine looks like and get a second pair eyes on it?

Here's a screenshot of the solved Amateur puzzle.
See if it is the same as yours.
Go row by row.
If you want to go saved game route - we can do that too.

Got it! Thanks for saving the day-again!

Ok, here's a random question-is tree a way to download the background music for this game?

This is the only way I know of, and it's not free.

how about other games? that pretty much took care of all my nancy drew soundtracks. what about margrave manor 2 lost ship?

by the way...how in the world did you get that link into the word "this"? I just know how to play games...SO COOL!

I don't think there's any way to get the other soundtrack you mentioned.
